The Elixir
Stumbling around in the morning
I stumbled out of bed
Sleep addled brain
Foggy and forgetful
As I wander down the hall
Making my way to the kitchen
~~~
Stare into the cupboard
For my favorite mug
But it's nowhere to be found
It's not on the counter
Or dirty in the dishwasher
~~~
Run my hands through my hair
I'm disheveled and distressed
Where could it be
Panic starts to grow
When something catches my eye
~~~
Sitting on the opposite counter
Is my mug waiting for me
Steam waifs in the air
As the black elixir calls to me
I reach out to grab it
~~~
Instantly
It disappeared
Was it all just a dream
Or a nightmare
In the making
